CSci 435/535: Software Engineering

Homework 2: Issue Tracker

Part 1 due Monday, January 21st by 11am, Part 2 due Wednesday, January 23rd by 11am.

Summary

This exercise introduces you to issue tracker. You can get to issue tracker at http://www.cs.wm.edu/~coppit/csci435/project/issue-tracker/.

Create an account for yourself, using your CS userid as your username. You must do this by 11am Monday.

If you look at the tasks for the Developer group, you will see that I created a "Free Points" task and a "Homework 1" task. Between 11am and 12pm I will sign everyone up for the "Free Points" task and close it.

The following must be done after 12pm Monday.

1. Go to preferences, and change your password. Also set it so that the issue tracker shows you the the issue list using: Issue Number, Status, Points, Module, Assigned To, Category. Sort by points. (You can change this to whatever you like later.) Save your changes.
2. Click the "Group Preferences" link near at the top. Check the email notification for the developers group and save your changes. This will cause emails to be sent when changes are made to the issue list, such as the creation of new issues. You will always be notified if there is a change to an issue that you are assigned to.
3. Sign yourself up for the "Homework 1" task.
4. Go to reports, and tell it to show you the "performance score" for the developers group, milestone 1.
5. Create a text file. In this file answer the following questions:
   1. Where did you get your individual points?
   2. Why didn't you get points for the "Homework 1" task?
6. Find the issue in the issues list entitled "Homework 1". Add an event to the issue with a little description. Also attach your text file to the event.
